joe..to er is to be human.... take it easy..and don't forget to breath..merle
So, human are we? *L*
Reading those tirades directed at pudgala (who I keep wanting to
call pingala - which led to an interesting Wikipedia foray...), I
felt only compassion for both of you. Who knows how these words
were received. Perhaps with an open heart. The lack of reply,
speaks volumes. I was also reminded of the often erratic behavior
of some of the more memorable figures in Zen history...
But enough pleasantries, on to practicalities:
The impact/memory of that particular smell, never fully passes.
Enough said.
Whiskey? Yes, a poor choice. I'd go with Tequila. Once that was
gone, Sake would do.
Try long walks. Ghosts & demons bore easily and tend to wander
off. Many, are too stupid to find their way back. Where you are
though, might have to go out under the desert moon to avoid the
hellfire of desert noon, but there are other demons about at
night...
Zen makes no promises, so none can be broken.

It was a neighbor, a 70-year old reclusive man, in his
house. Afterward I admit I drank excessively. I could not
get the stench of the 3-week passed-away cadaver to leave
me, it seemed, despite Whiskey. That error, of drinking,
was stupid enough, but then I compounded it by being
online, and writing anything. I cannot bear to read those
posts. But I understand if they cannot be deleted.
